Chapter 5: The Unqualified Airspace

　　The moon stars were thin.

　　The bell rang for the end of the evening study hall, and three or two students walked out of the classroom, joking and laughing as they walked through the night, after a day of suffering, this was perhaps the most relaxing time for them.

　　No homework, no teacher, surrounded by three or two friends, go home, take a shower and crawl into bed comfortably, is not it wonderful?

　　And in the midst of this scattered crowd, a large group of a dozen or so people came out of nowhere, walking neatly and steadily towards the outside of the school.

　　In the center of them, a black satin-wrapped teenager was like the stuffed meat of a dumpling, wrapped up tightly.

　　Such a huge team immediately attracted the attention of all the surrounding students.

　　”Actually …… I can walk back by myself, really.” The corners of Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly, and he spoke somewhat helplessly, “I can see, it’s just that my eyes don’t quite see the light ……”

　　”No need to say it Lin Qiye student!” Jiang Qian interrupted Lin Qiye and said righteously, “We promised your aunt that we would take care of you, so we will definitely do it!”

　　”Yes Seven Nights, it just so happens that our homes are in the same direction, all on the way.”

　　”I’m also on the way.”

　　Lin Qiye: ……

　　Seriously, right now, he preferred to be the isolated one, after staying in the dark for a long time, he wasn’t used to this feeling of being cared about by too many people, it made him squirm.

　　Of course, his aunt and Yang Jin didn’t count, since they were his family.

　　But after all, they were well-intentioned, so he couldn’t say anything, and could only helplessly follow the crowd forward.

　　”I’m about to turn right at that intersection ahead of me, but I can follow you guys for a bit longer.”

　　”I’m about to turn here, I’ll go first, see you tomorrow.”

　　”See you tomorrow.”

　　”……”

　　As they got farther and farther away from the school, the students surrounding Lin Qiye said their goodbyes and left one after another, and after a few minutes, there were only five people left by Lin Qiye’s side.

　　The original noisy atmosphere gradually quieted down, and space filled up all of a sudden, as Lin Qiye took a long breath of relief.

　　”What do you guys say …… that the mists will really revive again and swallow Daxia?” Li Yifei turned his head to ask with some curiosity as he carried his bag.

　　”Didn’t you listen to those experts? The probability of the mist reviving is very small, perhaps the last hundred years will not change, as for how about a hundred years later …… anyway, at that time we are also not there, worry about so much why?” Jiang Qian rolled her eyes.

　　”Harm, you are not unaware that those what experts say the most unreliable, in case we are not easy to get into the university, have not yet enjoyed life, the mists swallowed the whole of Daxia, then it is not a loss of fried?”

　　”So this is the reason why you are now mixing up every day and not concentrating on your studies?” Jiang Qian walked to Li Yi Fei and said with a straight face, “I have to remind you, Teacher Wang has already said that if you take the last place in this exam again, you will have to move your desk to the side of the podium.”

　　”Got it got it.” Li Yifei smiled sarcastically.

　　”However, I really don’t think that the mist can revive again.” Wang Shao who walked at the front suddenly spoke, “In the end, the mist is nothing more than a natural phenomenon, after reaching a certain critical level, it will gradually fade away, just like the ice age, when the glacier covers the earth, as the temperature rises back up, it will slowly fade away, and with it will come a new era.”

　　”I know you’re talking about this, I think it’s called the Natural Disaster Theory, right? The recognition is pretty high right now.” Jiang Qian nodded.

　　”Then what if …… this mist is not a natural phenomenon?” Right at this moment, Lin Qiye, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

　　Wang Shao froze, then laughed, “Seven Nights, you don’t really believe those so-called theologians’ remarks that this mist is related to supernatural forces, right?”

　　”It’s the twenty-first century, we have to believe in science, there aren’t that many gods and goddesses in the world.” A student named Liu Yuan interjected.

　　Lin Qiye didn’t reply, whether there were things in this world beyond science, he knew best in his heart, only that there was no need to say these things to outsiders.

　　Li Yifei muttered in a low voice, “I do think that if there really are those things, the world should be a bit more interesting.”

　　”Why are you pulling so many useless things, these things are not what we should care about, instead of dwelling on whether the mists will revive or not, it would be better to wait until the three-day vacation on the Survival Day to sleep more lazily to be realistic.” Jiang Qian laughed.

　　”Right, vacation is the most realistic!”

　　At this moment, the old city center of Cangnan City.

　　A man was carrying a notice board, walking unhurriedly on the lonely and dimly lit streets, the old street lamps shedding a dim light, lengthening his back constantly ……

　　He glanced at his cell phone and came to a stop at some narrow street intersection.

　　”This is it ……”

　　He muttered, setting down the notice board he carried over his shoulder and setting it upright.

　　Under the flickering streetlight, the shadow of the signboard flickered and disappeared, and above the black backing, a few large words in bright red stood out!No Traffic Ahead!

　　The man leaned under the streetlight, lit a cigarette for himself, and after taking a hard drag, opened his earpiece.

　　”Captain, the third signboard is in place.”

　　”Copy that, get started.”

　　”Uh-huh.”

　　With a cigarette in his mouth, the man stepped in front of the notice board, placed his thumb on the tip of his teeth, and bit down hard!

　　A drop of blood spilled out from the wound, the man squatted down and used his blood-stained thumb to draw a long horizontal line on the words “No traffic ahead”!

　　His eyes stared, and an inexplicable aura erupted from his center!

　　He raised his head to look up at the black night sky and murmured in a voice that only he could hear……

　　”Forbidden Ruins, [Unrestricted Hollow].”

　　In the next moment, the bright red bloodstains on the signboard in front of him faded rapidly, as if they were absorbed, and immediately after, the four big words “Forbidden Ahead” flashed red!

　　Then it gradually returned to its original state.

　　The man sat on his butt on the ground, took a long breath and spoke with some complaints.

　　”Damn, hollowed out again ……”

　　At this moment, if someone were to look down on Cangnan City from the middle of the sky, they would notice that in the vicinity of the old city center, three points of light flickered, and then with these three points of light as the apex, a dark red equilateral triangle was rapidly outlined!

　　In the instant the triangle was formed, the half of the old town that was covered was like being wiped off from the map, gradually hiding ……

　　However, from the ground, the old town was still the same old town.

　　Meanwhile, in the center of this triangle, six black and red cloaks crossed the sky like lightning!

　　The man at the head of the group looked up at the dark red dome of the sky, reaching out to grip the hilt of the sword behind his back, his eyes narrowing slightly.

　　”Operation Ghostface Purge, commence.”
